Page 2: Warning And Caution Symbols In This Manual
Thank you for purchasing the Nikon products. This instruction manual was written for the users of the Electronic Total Station DTM-350/330. To ensure correct usage read this manual carefully before operating the instrument. Also read the Instruction Manual provided with the Battery Charger and any other equipments used together with the DTM-350/330.
Page 3: Read This Section Before Use
Never see the sun through the telescope. Doing so may cause the loss of your eyesight. The DTM-350/330 does not feature explosion-protected construction. Do not use in coal mines, in areas contaminated with coal dust, or near other flammable substances.
Page 4 WARNING AND CAUTION Read This Section Before Use! CAUTION The top of the tripod ferrule is very sharp and may injure your body. Be careful in handling or carrying the tripod. Check the shoulder strap and its clasp before carrying the tripod or the instrument encased in the carrying case.
Page 5: Maintenance
MAINTENANCE Read This Section Before Use! Avoid prolonged exposure to the sun or the heat of a closed vehicle. Efficiency could be adversely affected. If the instrument has been used in wet conditions, incline the instrument so as to remove the water drops out of the concave parts on the instrument.
Page 6 If you expose the carrying case to rain because of unavoidable circumstances, place it with its “Nikon” nameplate upward. The BC-65 battery pack holds Ni-MH inside. Be sure to follow the...

2. PREPARATION 2-1 Unpacking and Packing the Instrument Handle gently the instrument to guard against shocks or excessive vibration. Encase the instrument with the battery pack attached. Unpacking Hold the carrying-handle and take the instrument out of the case. The instrument is placed in its carrying case as shown in the figure.
Page 13: Recharging And Connecting The Bc-65 Battery Pack
2-2 Recharging and Connecting the BC-65 Battery Pack WARNING Use only the specified charger Q-75U/E for charging the battery pack BC-65. Charging by the other types of chargers than specified may cause fire or rupture. (BC-65 can not be charged by using the charger Q-7U/E or Q-7C.) While recharging the battery pack, do not cover the charger with any blanket or clothing which can cause overheating.
Page 14 If the battery pack is recharged within the specified ambient temperature range and the charging indicator stays lit for 4 hours or longer, something is wrong. Contact your dealer or a Nikon representative. (If an ambient temperature lowers than 0°C while recharging the battery, the charger’s temperature sensor will stop the...
Page 15 Recharging Procedure (1) Insert the power plug of charger into To AC outlet an AC outlet. Charging indicator (2) Connect the charging plug to the Disharging indicator battery pack’s charging connector. Disharging starting (3) Quick charging will then start switch automatically.
Page 16 (1) Depress the battery mounting button while holding the battery pack. An external battery (optional accessory) is available for use with the DTM-350/330. When the external battery is connected and the battery pack BC-65 is mounted on the instrument, its electrical source will automatically be switched to the one with the higher battery power.
Page 17: Setting Up The Tripod
2-3 Setting up the Tripod CAUTION The top of the tripod ferrule is very sharp and may injure your body. Be careful in handling or carrying the tripod. (1) Open the tripod legs sufficiently enough for the instrument to be stable. (2) Assure that the station point is located directly beneath the center hole in the tripod head.
Page 18: Centering
2-4 Centering “Centering” refers to the precise alignment of the instrument’s central axis over the station point. This can be accomplished in two ways, through the use of a plumb bob, or the optical plummet. Using Plumb Bob (1) Place the instrument on the tripod head. Insert the tripod mounting screw into the center hole of the instrument’s base plate and tighten.
Page 19 Using Optical Plummet Carry out the “CHECKING AND ADJUSTMENT of Optical Plummet” (p.4-2) when the centering operation is performed at a position higher than the station point. For high accuracy, carry out the “CHECKING AND ADJUSTMENT of Optical Plummet” (p.4-2) before the centering operation. (1) Place the instrument on the tripod head.
Page 20: Leveling
2-5 Leveling “Leveling” refers to the precise vertical alignment of the instrument’s vertical axis. The procedure for leveling by means of the plate level is described below. (1) Loosen the upper plate clamp. Rotate the alidade to position the plate level to a point parallel with any two of the leveling screws B and C (See Figure).
Page 21: Sighting
2-6 Sighting “Sighting” refers to the aiming of the telescope at the target, bringing the target image into focus, and aligning it with the center crosshairs of the reticle. WARNING Never view the sun through the telescope. Doing so may cause the loss of your eyesight.
Page 22: Assembling The Prism Reflector
Slide the prism holder mount to align the height Height adjustment screw adjustment screw holes and screw in the adjustment screw again. When using the DTM-350/330, set the prism holder mount to the lower position. 2-11...
Page 23 Attach the prism to the single prism holder or triple prism holder. The prism constant of Nikon prism is 0, regardless of the prism holder type. The triple prism holder can also be used as a single prism holder if one prism is screwed in the center thread of the triple prism holder.
